Feedback

I'm always interested in your comments, suggestions, feedback about a farm, and ways to improve the
web site! This form is for questions and general comments, and feedback
about farms (but it is not for corrections to farm listings)

If you want to CORRECT or CHANGE information on a farm's listing; such as you find a farm has closed,
or some other information about a farm is wrong,
please click here to use the corrections form to let
me know so I can promptly correct it! And if you want to recommend a farm to
add; use our
Suggest a farm
form or if you own/operate a farm,
add-my-farm form! FYI, the state and County information helps me to
locate farms near you!
And look farther down this page, after the form, for answers to frequently asked
questions. You'll find lots of canning
Q&A's on this page. Feel free to ask me any questions! If I can help,
I will! Note: If you use a "allowed-sender request" spam-control service
I cannot reply to you. They always perceive responses as spam and
will not allow my email through to you; plus there just isn't time, with the
volume of emails I answer. If you want a response, please use an email account
that does not require me to fill out a form to be approved.
NOTE about ads: If you see any offensive political ads;
email me the url on them so I can block them.
See this note about ads.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

You have ads for [fill in
the name the company, product, service or group]. They are evil and are
destroying America! Why do you let them advertise on your website???
A. I don't. Or to put it another way, I have no way of knowing who will be
advertising until the ads actually appear. With very few exceptions, the
banner ads are supplied by an outside company (their name appears in the
banner "Ads by ...") I have NO advance control over what appears in these
ads. It is completely controlled by the outside company. If you see an
inappropriate or offensive ad - don't get mad at me; just email me and be
sure to give me the name of the advertiser in the ad and their url. Then I
can go back to the outside ad company and have the advertiser banned! For
more information see:

and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense

Q. I wrote to you, but never heard back. Do you
answer your email?
A. I reply to every single email I receive. Unfortunately, about 10% of
the people who write to me either don't know their own email address or type
it incorrectly. About one in 1 in 10 are returned to me "no such address or
account". Some have spam-blocker services that block any response I send.
Others have spam controls that require the sender to fill out a form, just
to reply.

Q. Sometimes when I print a page, the words are cut
off on the right side. How can I print it so it all comes out correctly?A. After you click File-Print or Ctrl-P, but before you hit the
"print" button, click on "properties" and change the orientation to
"Landscape".
Wherever a page has a "PDF print version", click that link for a better
quality print!
I've been converting all of the pages to a newer technology (CSS /
stylesheets) that will fix that and remove unnecessary things like ads, so
most pages should print well now.

Q. I want to search for a specific fruit or vegetable
in my area, without needing to look through a page with other listings! A. I'm working on that, too, by converting all of the farm listings
to a database, so you can search with greater flexibility and precision and
see on the listings that apply to your request. This should be implemented
before Spring 2008.

Q. Can you tell me where to find organic ________?
A. The information about each farm that I found from government agriculture
sources didn't include organic status. I have requested it from the farms,
but they are slow in responding. As they reply I update their listings. If
it doesn't say "organic", it is safe to presume that it isn't. For 2008, I
am identifying organic farms with a green "ORGANIC", so they will stand
out. And in the improved search engine (see question 2) I will enable a
"include only organic farms" option, too!.

Q. Why can't you make these changes sooner?A. I actually make 99% of changes within 24 hours. I'm trying to keep
this free for everyone. I don't charge either farmers or consumers (or
anyone else). In order to keep it free, I do 100% of all the work myself, in
my "spare" time, so it takes me a bit longer (the baby needs some time, too!
:). Keeping this resource free for all has been a priority of mine, along
with ease of use and accuracy of the information!

Keep the suggestions coming! If people want it, I'll do
it!

Looking for a local, pick-your-own farm in United States? Scroll down this page and select your region of the state for a list of U-Pick farms in United States,
sorted by county. Farms offering organic or sustainably grown produce are identified by the words "organic" and/or "sustainable" in Green, next to their name.
If they have a website, the name will be in blue and underlined; click on it and it will open their website.

And if you know of one I missed and want to add it or correct the
information, please let me know!
